The Mavs have the following under-25 players:
- Luka Doncic (24)
- Grant Williams (24)
- Josh Green (22)
- OMax Prosper (21)
- Jaden Hardy (21)
- Dereck Lively (19)
Luka is obviously Luka.
Grant Williams is an elite role player who has looked amazing in his new role as Dallas' starting 4, averaging 16/5/1 on flamethrower 54/55/73 shooting splits that (probably) will come down but maybe not that much considering how many players the Luka effect has boosted to 40%+ seasons. His defense is great too.
Josh Green has looked a little shaky this year but has definitely shown flashes of being a do-it-all role player that can fit in any lineup. Last year he shot over 40% from 3 and was a much improved passer and defender.
OMax is more of a project and hasn't played yet, so we'll see how he looks later.
Hardy is a microwave scorer who averaged 12 points in just 20 minutes per game last year after the Kyrie trade on 46/48/80 splits.
Lively is just 19 and has exceeded all Mavs fans' expectations. For the first time since Tyson Chandler we have a center who can rebound, protect the rim, and throw down lobs. Our centers since then have just done two, one, or none of the three. He will be a Maverick for a long time.
Some young cores (like Orlando and OKC) have deeper, more proven young talent, but the Mavs core makes up for it with a legitimate top 3 superstar. And all these role players slot nicely into roles alongside Luka. If I'm not mistaken we ran a Luka/Hardy/Josh/Grant/Lively lineup today (might've been DJJ instead of Josh) which looked good.
It's up there purely because of Luka the same way some of LeBron's Cavs teams were one of the best teams in the league purely because they had LeBron on the team.
